First off, I have been very impressed by the WWF software and have purchased the license key for my website at:

 

http://www.legalnurseforums.com - www.legalnurseforums.com

 

I am currently working on a way to integrate the login system for WWF to my existing website and have been successful at forcing a login from a secured page based on the following method:

 

1.  Place the common.asp file in an includes at the top of the page

 

2.  Check if a user is logged into the forum and redirect them to an access

denied page if they are not logged in.

 

3.  Have them go to the the login page

 

HERE IS THE CODE:

 

<!--#include virtual="forum/common.asp" -->

'If the user has not logged in (guest user ID = 2) then redirect them

 

If lngLoggedInUserID = 2 Then
response.redirect "access_denied.asp"
end if

 

END CODE

 

There is a link from the access denied page that takes them to the login page.

 

Although the above system seems to work fine to keep users out of unauthorized pages, I think I am doing this the hard way.  I really just want the user to be directed to the login page directly with an error showing that they need to login and skip the access denied page altogether.  Then after logging in I would like to return them to their original page.

 

My old login system was something that I have custom written and uses a variable assigned to the URL string passed to the login page that keeps this value after processing the login thus sending the user back to their original starting point after login:

 

HERE IS THE CODE

 

'If the user is not logged in they are redirected to the login page

 

Response.redirect "/login.asp?varRedirect=" &Request.Servervariables("URL") &"?" &Request.Servervariables("QUERY_STRING")

 

END OF CODE

 

The varRedirect value is passed to the process page which sends them back to their starting point after processing.

 

Is there a way in the WWF login system to accomplish the same thing and send the user back to their original page after logging in?  Otherwize they have to renavigate the site and find their old page again - kind of a pain.

 

Thanks for any assistance.

 

If I understand correctly I should build a form with username and password fields and then use the function to check the values and output a login response from 0 to 4.

 

exactly what values am I assigning to the function?

 

I don't understand all the values in the function on the line:

 

CODE

 

Private Function loginUser(ByVal strUsername, ByVal strPassword, ByVal blnCAPTCHArequired, strType)

 

END CODE

 

particularly "ByVal blnCAPTCHArequired" and "strType".  Do these values come from the CAPTCHA form?

 

I tried setting up a form and submitting the values for username and password and I am able to get back the values 0 and 1 only, however I'm not able to ever get back the values 2,3, or 4 and I'm not sure how to incorporate the values for the CAPTCHA image code.

 

Here is how I am calling the function:

 

First I created a form to get the username and password values and I included a CAPTCHA form and the common.asp and functions_login.asp files and then I called the function and displayed the results:

 

CODE

 

<!--#include virtual="forum/common.asp" -->

<!-- #include virtual="forum/functions/functions_login.asp" -->

<!--#include virtual="forum/includes/CAPTCHA_form_inc.asp" -->

'get values from the form

 

username = request.form("username")
password= request.form("password")

 

'call the loginUser function

formResults = loginUser(username, password, true, strType)

 

response.write formResults

END CODE

 

I'm not sure if I assigned the correct values under the call function for

 

"ByVal blnCAPTCHArequired" and "strType"

 

I used "true" and "strType".  Is this correct?  If not, what am I supposed to be using for these values or where are they assigned for the function?

 

Thanks for any assistance
